π Youβre halfway there! Welcome to Day 3 of your Summer Cleanse, Lymph Friends!
How are you feeling?! Day 3 is usually the day folks feel all sorts of things. It can be the most challenging day, as your body might be feeling the effects of the detox now. Some of you might be hitting your stride and feeling wonderful. All of these feelings are normal. Today we are focusing on cleansing the Liver with modalities such as a Liver Support Drink, a Pilates practice to sculpt & tone your legs, plus applying a Castor Oil Pack to detox your organs. Do what you can and be gentle on yourself. Itβs ok if you arenβt able to complete every element of todayβs agenda. We are introducing new techniques, so bookmark what you want to save for a later date. You will be able to access all the videos for a year!
You can find all Cleanse materials, including Mondayβs LIVE ZOOM REPLAY on the CLEANSE HOME PAGE.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
JOURNAL. Take a couple moments and jot down your dreams or the first few things that come to your mind without worrying about what any of it means. Listen to your subconscious. Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning. Drink room temperature water (or warm water) with lemon. This will aid your digestion, support your lymphatic system in removing metabolic waste and help carry nutrients to your cells. Please continue to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
π§ Liver Flush Drink.
In Chinese Medicine the Liver & Gallbladder organs are an important indicator of health. These organs filter blood from your digestive tract, break down fat in your intestines, detoxify chemicals and drugs, and produces a whopping 25-50% of lymph that flows through the thoracic duct. Some of the emotions associated with these organs are anger, irritability, impatience, rigidity, indecision, and nervousness. If you can relate to any of these feelings ~ give this drink a try! (Donβt drink if youβre pregnant or nursing as you donβt need to cleanse now.)
Grapefruit contains two primary antioxidants: naringin and naringenin. These may help protect the liver from injury by reducing inflammation and protecting the liver cells.

βοΈ Go Outside, Take a Walk and Get some Sunlight.
By now you know I want you all talking daily walks. In addition to improving lymph and blood flow, exposing your body to sunlight increases cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine. This will benefit your energy, immune system function and mood! Win. Win. Win!
|
LIVER DETOX~ AND LYMPH As I mentioned earlier, your Liver produces a whopping 25-50% of lymph that flows through the thoracic duct. Supporting liver function can help alleviate the toll on how much your Lymph System needs to filter and process. I highly recommend you do an inventory of what chemicals may be lurking in your household products, beauty & skincare products (and deodorant!) 60% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed by your lymphatic system and can wreak havoc on your hormones. Opt for clean natural ingredients when youβre buying things for your home and body!

BREAKFAST
Quinoa with Sauteed Shallots, Spinach and Broccolini + Walnuts
Make yourself a yummy batch of sauteed greens and quinoa for breakfast this morning. Spinach contains compounds like carotenoids and zeaxanthin which cleanses the body of free radicals. Itβs also a great source of fiber that can help decrease blood glucose levels. And Spinach is full of vitamin A, iron, vitamin K, folate and phytonutrients that may help decrease inflammation in the body. Broccoli & Broccolini are great cruciferous veggies that contain compounds which support liver function. Toss in some Walnuts; theyβre high in healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They also contain arginine, an amino acid that may help cleanse the liver.

LUNCHπ Peach Chopped Salad with Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, Grapes, Basil, Chives, and Feta Cheese Nothing says summer to me more than peaches and Greek Salad! I love this light, flavorful twist on the classic Greek by adding fresh peaches. Feel free to substitute the Feta cheese if you donβt want dairy. And if youβd like to add some protein, this would be a wonderful addition to this salad. I recommend using tuna or salmon as fatty fishes are beneficial for liver health. Enjoy!

SNACKGreen Tea + Berries π«
Green tea and Berries contain beneficial polyphenols which may help protect you against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as well as aiding digestion. Berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries have the highest antioxidant activity of commonly consumed fruits, next to pomegranates. Also high fiber, berries are beneficial for your gut health.

CASTOR OIL PACKTO SUPPORT LIVER DETOX + MEDITATE Once you apply your Castor Oil Pack, Give Camillaβs meditation another try HERE
Iβve been using Castor Oil packs for over 30 years! Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid that can help with inflammation, constipation, period cramps, pain and can improve immune function. Dr.Marisol, founder of Queen of Thrones (you can find her on Instagram @bewellqueen) created a product that takes away all the mess of Castor Oil packs and delivers the benefits in a simple, neat manner so you can enjoy a better immune, digestive & nervous system. Please find her video explaining How to Use the Pack and Why you should Try it below.

π TAKE AN EPSOM SALT BATH (optional. You may want to go right to bed after the Castor oil pack, or you might want to bathe before applying the castor pack)
βοΈ GET PROPER SLEEPβ¦ Becauseβ¦ your Glymphatic system needs it!
π JOURNAL Write down how you feel, what youβve been enjoying so far in this Cleanse - especially any ideas that are coming to mind. Iβve found that when I eat clean, I get bursts of creativity- so take note of your thoughts/visions and desires!
